have_v in_o remove_v of_o bodelie_a sickness_n not_o only_o because_o they_o know_v not_o when_o it_o be_v the_o deserve_a pain_n for_o sin_n as_o he_o do_v but_o also_o because_o as_o saint_n

ourselves_o be_v the_o correction_n of_o such_o as_o god_n love_v lest_o they_o be_v damn_v with_o the_o world_n which_o can_v signify_v the_o everlasting_a judgement_n we_o mean_v not_o then_o that_o the_o pardon_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a magistrate_n shall_v perteine_v to_o the_o release_n of_o bodelie_a pain_n due_o deserve_v for_o sin_n or_o for_o other_o cause_n appoint_v because_o christ_n so_o do_v not_o unto_o all_o but_o unto_o some_o as_o it_o please_v his_o wisdom_n but_o this_o we_o say_v that_o as_o he_o of_o his_o mercy_n take_v away_o and_o release_v the_o sinner_n of_o certain_a temporal_a affliction_n as_o well_o appoint_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n as_o enjoin_v by_o god_n own_o hand_n and_o so_o give_v a_o pardon_n of_o that_o which_o both_o moses_n and_o

be_v expedient_a to_o the_o party_n and_o glorious_a to_o god_n name_n fulke_v you_o be_v bold_a to_o say_v before_o that_o if_o any_o man_n be_v sick_a by_o god_n appointment_n for_o that_o cause_n only_o to_o satisfy_v for_o his_o sin_n remit_v that_o he_o shall_v straight_o recover_v by_o the_o pope_n pardon_n which_o be_v to_o grant_v he_o such_o power_n as_o christ_n have_v in_o remove_v ofbodelie_a sickness_n suffer_v for_o the_o cause_n above_o specify_v that_o the_o priest_n want_v this_o power_n because_o he_o know_v not_o when_o bodelie_o sickness_n be_v the_o deserve_a pain_n for_o sin_n as_o though_o there_o be_v any_o pain_n that_o be_v not_o deserve_v for_o sin_n it_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o a_o empirike_n heal_v by_o virtue_n of_o his_o medicine_n oftentimes_o
